Ive got a GQ GMC 500+. It's ok, but took a bit of fiddling together it calibrated. Like the fact that you can put it online and see other GQ meters.

Picked up a thorium gas mantle off of ebay to use as a test source.

The only kiln dried wood we use at the moment is kindling. I didn't like kiln dried for exactly the same reason - seemed to burn too fast. So did a bit of investigation.

You can also go up in stages. I always had a lot of rechargeable (AA, AAA, C) batteries ( and Black Friday is always a good time to stock up). My first solar project was a small (30W) panel, a cheap charge controller and a car battery. Also got a 12V to cigar lighter/ USB panel. The solar could char...
